I'm not sure it's funny "ha ha"

Do you want your money for overpriced diabetic carbonated sugar water to go to the red corporation or the blue corporation?

You put a number of options on the table, and they're so busy wrapped up in choosing, they fail to notice you've given them nothing they thought they wanted at the start.

Freedumb wins out over freedom.

I'd add the note that this is most obviously apparent in the United States of America. In most European countries they severely limited the negative aspects of free market capitalism through oversight, common sense legislation etc. Like, I literally feel everything in the US is a scam by default.

it's the "freedom" to waste a day queuing at a polling station to choose which bunch of corporate shills will be the face of the "government" for the next few years. then the "freedom" to spend the rest of your life in debt and wage slavery

I think like with many things it’s the result of capitalists bending language to talk to two audiences at once. The masses hear “freedom” and imagine that people in other countries can’t have beers around a bonfire. Fellow capitalists hear full *economic* freedom: no regulation, no labor laws, etc

"Freedom" has always seemed to mean "the ability to do exactly what I want you to do."

Truth

I saw it reposted on Reddit so I figured I might as well repost it myself lol.
